- Zest the citrus then cut them into quarters. Peel the garlic cloves and slice in half. Cut the peeled onion into large chunks.
- Sprinkle the citrus zest over the pork. Squeeze the citrus pieces over the pork. Add the garlic, onion and citrus to the Dutch oven on top of the pork. Cover and bake in 250°F oven for 3-1/2 hours.
- Remove the pork pieces using tongs and place on a baking sheet. (At this point, if desired, you can refrigerate the pork and finish the dish tomorrow.) Reserve about 2 T. of the lard from the Dutch oven and let it re-solidify (for greasing the baking dish). The rest of the Dutch oven contents can be discarded.
- Under the broiler, get a nice char on the pork pieces. This will take about 5 minutes per side; just keep an eye on it.
- Grease the bottom and sides of a square baking dish with the reserved lard using a pastry brush. Add the pork pieces evenly over the bottom. If desired, at this point you can add some of the optional garnish ingredients to the pork, like jalapeños, etc. Sprinkle with cheese, and top with the corn.
